Life is too valuable, you might lose everything in just a moment, never take anything for granted and keep your loved ones around you at all times. The morning of a normal school day, where I begin my day trying to convince my mother to not attend school, trying every technique I learned, fake sickness and so on, but that day I didn 't annoy her that much because it was the final week at school, we were almost done with our final exams. An ordinary sunny summer day, I reached school with everyone rushing and panicking before the exams start, trying to memorize or remember the last notes and so on, but as for me I didn 't care that much I wasn 't the smart kid, but I was alright, I listened in class and payed attention and usually got good …show more content…
few moments later which felt like days, I saw my uncle running with his wife beside him to there car, following the ambulance and all I did is run as fast as I could to ride with them, when I went in the car I was really scared and confused, none of us were able to talk, just my uncle trying to calm down his wife, with tears in his eyes, trying to stay behind the ambulance. The moment of truth, is he going to die or will he fight through it, everything and everyone went silent as we saw the doctor approaching us, all that was being heard is our hearts beating and praying that he will be able to pull through it, holding each other while we tried to understand what was the doctor trying to say, all that time what was going through my head is that, is he going to live or not. Months passed by when he finally was able to leave the hospital and come back home, with being fully healed. Everything and everyone has changed after that day, I realized how much life is precious and how we should live, cherish and enjoy every single moment with our loved ones, because you never know when you might lose someone. 7 years later and I remember that day as if it was yesterday, its an experience that can never be forgotten. I chose to go on with my life with this quote always in my head, live the current day as if its your last day, with my best friend always by my
Becki Hawkins’ story about Brother Tolbert, a Pentecostal Minister, hit home with me. He was an elderly gentleman who had heart and lung damage from chemo and radiation. She went to visit him by request of his second wife. While Becki was with Brother Tolbert, he asked her if she could get him into his bed so he could look out at the church and an old tree right outside of the window. He knew his time was up, and accepted it.
I realised that I would live to see another day and suddenly, the invisible weight that had been hovering over my shoulders seemed to float away. My heart settled down into
For the next few days, I kept on thinking what would happen to her and what my cousins would think about this. When my mom and I went to the hospital to visit my aunt, she looked exactly the same as when I last saw her, only in a hospital bed this time. As soon as we walked into her room, she started saying how bland the food was and how boring it was which was ironic because she worked at a hospital herself.
She called my mother and told her that she needed to bring me in soon because I was not looking healthy. She was scared that I might have cancer and then it hit me. All I thought about was the past month and how all of these events
All our lives we are busy to gain things, whether it’s money, fame, or love. We don’t look at things we already have, and we are always lustful of things we don’t have. In my opinion we don’t value things we easily achieve and we show more concern towards the things which are hard to get and that is not the right way to precieve things. As the assignment asks, do we value what we struggle for?
I learned that I was placed on this earth to discover my own path, and I wouldn’t be happy if I live someone else’s life. Throughout high school I’ve gained confidence in myself, which really helped me a lot to step out of my comfort zone when in a difficult situation. I’ve learned that what I am doing now will effect me later on in life. I only have to worry about what I am doing not what someone else doing because worrying about someone else will not get you any
I didn’t have a care in the world about anything except my own desires and needs. My mother started to get in trouble with the state of Maryland because I was not old enough to be out of school. She cut me deal by saying if I went to school until I was old enough to drop out, she would sign my drop out papers. So I went back and started in a new school.
January 11, 2013, I wake up to yelling, prayers, and crying. I walked into the kitchen where all the noises were coming from and I found my mother on the floor crying, talking on the phone with my godmother. My father was there by her side, trying hard not to cry while supporting his wife. I didn’t know what was happening, this was the first time I’ve seen my mom so vulnerable and broken. My parents didn’t tell me anything other than my grandmother was in critical condition at the hospital, but with god's help she would overcome this hard time.
I always remember thinking that, there will be a tomorrow, that I will see my sister the next day; and one day I didn’t; and for me this was such a pivotal moment in my
Death is inevitable. Losing someone you love is dreadful. It was April 2016 when we were sitting at the dinner table late at night with our family friends. My mom’s phone began to ring. When I saw her reaction, I knew immediately.
During that moment, I realized how much of an impact something like death could have on someone, and it made me realize that I had to mature faster than I had been. Just like I
High school has impacted my life in so many ways. High School taught me so many things, from personal relationships to creating a relationship with my education. As a freshman, I made a huge amount of mistakes and I regret doing foolish things, but I’ve realized, I was only maturing into the young adult I am today. Freshman year, I was out of focus and I was only trying to find myself. I would also prioritize other things and ignore my parent’s advice, where they would tell me to focus in school and give it my full attention.
I’ve learned that school itself also holds many life lessons in which shape my self-concept. School has made me focused and determined. I’ve set some unrealistic goals, but have seemed to achieve many of them with sheer determination. Guidance from teachers and peers has had a big influence. I’ve been pushed out of my comfort zone and proved to myself that I can achieve anything I set my mind to.
This event changed my life for the better and without going through that tough time I would not have been able to see the light of all situations, in reality and when I
I can still remember like it was yesterday the day my son was born. The feelings leading up to the day he was born were the most nerve racking days of my life. On August 27th 2015 me and my wife sat at home expecting the our son any moment. My mother was also with us and was there to help us after the baby was born. As the day went by the house filed with boredom and the feeling of nervousness, and outside being gray and rainy I knew that it wasn 't a beach day.
